The first real job that I did in the farm was to look after a small flock of sheep and a couple of goats. we had to take to flock of sheep in the fields, so that they would eat whatever there was left in the field.
My farm life views
Dear readers, this
post is the continuation of our previous post ‘breaking away from my farm life’
which are all part of ‘An old man life story, so, let me continue. Now, even
though we have been talking about breaking away from my farm life, and my farm
life experience in our previous posts. Now, I would have liked to go straight
to the point again, telling you all about my own personal life experience in
the farm when I was very young, which is the most important experience during
my whole young life, and which I ought to tell you as it was, because of the
ways that it has affected me, if I want to make my point about my young life
experience in the farm; since it is my first life experience in the real world,
and therefore the most important one.
So, just to make my
point here, I have to tell you that my first real job in the farm was, which
was that I had to look after a small flock of sheep, I was about 11 years old
at that time, so to be in charge of those animals was a big ask for a small boy
even then, and when we look at the standard of life that we have today, it
looks even worse, but somehow I did my job anyhow, after that job I had to do
many other things. All these things put together, I should tell you right away
that it has affected me for the rest of my life in a negative way, because I
was placed in a disadvantaged position right from the start of my young life,
as I have already mentioned before many times.
Now, while I am
writing and thinking about my younger life, at the same time I cannot help to
wonder how the young people of today would react if they find themselves in a
disadvantaged position as I was then. So, I ask myself again and again would
today young People have enough positive thinking to overcome the hard life that
would be thrown at them, or would they just keep protesting, and then run away
from the problems ahead of them; as the young people usually do these days? But
there is also something else, I have noted that today young people like only to
get in touch with other people through their mobiles, they don’t like to talk
to people face to face, and they avoid all sorts of problems if they can.
Therefore, I wonder what they would have done, if they would have ended up in
the same position as I was, as there were not many people around to talk to and
above all there wasn’t any devise that you could talk to or listen to, like
today we can talk on the mobile phones, you see life was very different then.
Anyhow, during our
lives I have learned that life means to us whatever we want life to mean to us,
and, at different times may have different meanings for every one of us. Today I
have concluded that even if we live a hard life, we need to be positive during
our life, and that is what we have to do all the time, be positive if we can. We
need to do that if we want to overcome our difficulties. My own life is a very
commune good example, as you are going to see while you read these articles.
You see, just because I have been positive during my whole life, even when
things went the wrong way many times, but I just kept going on the best way I
could, because that was the only thing that I could do at that time. The
reality of life is that we are forced to do whatever life throws at us, so, we
better do it willingly, without upsetting ourselves too much.
We should believe
that from our drawbacks we can always learn something positive, and if these
positive thoughts are added up, one can find a way to use them. You see today
in my old age I am even able to write these posts here and hubs in Hub pages,
in a language that is not my mother tongue, this might not be a great deal to
some people, but it helps me to think that I am not that hopeless fellow that I
was when I was young, because I have kept positive and tried to learn whenever
I had the chance, I hope that you see what I mean?
Now that I have
explained the position that I am in today, which one could say that it is a
sharp contrast to the ways I have been living when I was very young. Anyhow,
today to continue to tell you my farm life story, I believe that I have to
describe to you first of all what the farms were like in those days, and also how
the farmers used to run them in a traditional manner at the time when I was
young. And I want also to point out to you that, the farmers and their workers
were then and are still nowadays, the most important contributors of the
welfare of this rural town of Genzano di Lucania, you see, the rural
communities wherever you go in the world, they are still those people that grow
food for the rest of the other communities, therefore growing any sort of food
will always be necessary, for these reasons the people that grow food are very
important contributors to the rest of the town community; this would also apply
to our rural town of, Genzano di Lucania. But there seems to be a problem
between the farmers and the town people, because the rest of the town
communities, they don’t seem to recognize enough the farmer contributions, this
attitude gives rise to some malcontent and make life harder for the farming
people. We all should know that farmers are hardworking simple people that have
no much time to think about frivolous things, just for the sake of showing off
to other people their knowledge, like most people of the rest of the community
practice everywhere, and this is one of the problems between these communities,
but the farmers knowing that they know only how to farm they keep on farming,
even when they know that they are not being appreciated. They are down to earth
people.
Anyhow I believe
that this post is becoming too long, so, see you soon in our next post, Farm
life can be very hard.
